DRIVING DIRECTIONS
TO SALVATORE'S:
The address for Salvatore’s is: 5001 Curry Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236
General directions from Pittsburgh: Take Route 51 south (after the Liberty Tunnel you will go through 14+ lights and
after passing a McDonalds (on the left), turn right onto Brownsville Road (traffic light at intersection). Follow Brownsville Road for .3
mile and turn left at the first light. This will still be Brownsville Road. After the turn, follow Brownsville Road for .2 miles and turn
right onto Curry Road. Follow Curry Road for .7 miles and just after the underpass, Salvatore’s will be on the left. It is located in a
small shopping center.
From the Pittsburgh International Airport area and points West: Follow I-376 east toward Pittsburgh. Exit on to Route 51
south towards Uniontown immediately before the Fort Pitt Tunnels to downtown Pittsburgh. Then follow the "General directions from
Pittsburgh" above.
From the Monroeville area and points East: Take I-376 west towards Pittsburgh and exit onto the Boulevard of the Allies (exit
2B). Merge onto the Boulevard of the Allies and follow signs for the Liberty Bridge. Merge into the right lane on the bridge and
remain in the right lane through the Liberty Tunnel. Immediately after exiting the tunnel, take the second exit for Route 51 south
towards Uniontown. Then follow the "General directions from Pittsburgh" above.
From points North: Take I-279 south to I-579 south. On I-579, stay in the far left lane, which will eventually exit on to the Liberty
Bridge. Get in the right lane on the Liberty Bridge and remain in the right lane through the Liberty Tunnel. Immediately after exiting
the tunnel, take the second exit for Route 51 south towards Uniontown. Those coming from the Ohio Turnpike, can either exit at
Exit #28 and take I-79 south to I-279 south and follow the directions above from points North (Mapquest recommended route) OR
exit at #10 and follow I-376 east (portion toll) towards Pittsburgh and follow the directions from the Pittsburgh International Airport
and points west. Then follow the "General directions from Pittsburgh" above.
From area hotels: Turn onto Lebanon Church Road (Route 885 South) toward Route 51. Shortly after crossing under Route 51
and passing the onramps for Route 51, turn right onto Phillipe Road. At the stop sign (after only about 100 yards on Phillipe Road),
turn right onto Brownsville Road. Follow Brownsville Road for just over 1.5 miles and turn left onto Curry Road. Follow Curry Road
for .7 miles and just after the underpass, Salvatore’s will be on the left. It’s located in a small shopping center.
TO AREA HOTELS: To get to the recommended hotels in the area near Salvatore's, use the directions above to get to Route 51
south. Follow Route 51 south beyond the turn-off indicated in the directions to Salvatore's, through more traffic lights, and take
the exit (on the right) for Lebanon-Church Road (Route 885 north) toward West Mifflin. All four recommended hotels are on the
right, after approximately 1-2 miles.
CONSTRUCTION ALERT! Note that due to construction there are new traffic patterns at the intersection of Routes 51 and 88,
shortly before the turns off of Route 51 to get to Salvatore's or the area hotels. These traffic patterns and constructions will likely
result in delays that are longer than usual. We suggest allowing yourself an extra 10 minutes. Those traveling from east of the
Pittsburgh area and using the Turnpike, may wish to exit at New Stanton, take I-70 west to Route 51 north, and access the area
from the "other" direction, and use GPS or online mapping to find the best routes from there.
If you need directions from any other area, please call Bill Linkenheimer at 412.725.7499.
If you get lost on the day of the event, call Salvatore’s at 412.653.1880.
